Telemarketers

Today, I find myself getting super annoyed when the 1-800 number shows up on my phone and its telemarketers are calling my asking if I want a free trial of a new product. This is something that I immediately pick up the phone and then hang up the phone right away so that I don't have to talk to them. I begin to wonder if this is helping or hurting the companies that are calling me. I can only imagine that this is hurting the companies because when I do pick up I tell them to take me off the calling list. And I wonder when people answer if they will really try the product or not. As the technology progresses, I wonder if companies will switch the sending text messages or if they will opt to use Facebook or Twitter.

Do you answer the telemarketers when they call? Or do you let it go to voice mail, or pick up and hang up? Do you think that companies will switch to texting or Facebook?
